Exclusive | The Larger Self-Watering Hanging Basket That You've Been Asking For

Finally, a jumbo self-watering hanging basket that's large enough to accommodate creative combinations of multiple annual flowers or your biggest hanging ferns. Enjoy colorful, traffic-stopping displays that are so easy to care for. Add water to the soil from the top and up to two quarts is captured in the reservoir, where roots can access it, helping ensure season-long success. If you've purchased beautiful (and expensive) pre-planted hanging baskets only to have them dry out and die within days or weeks, here's the solution. Simply remove the plants and transfer them into this basket. May also be used without the hanger as a tabletop planter.

I love both the larger size and the fact the plant won't be drying out constantly. I plan on putting it in the center of my round trellis and planting petunias that will trail over the top of the trellis. I have the self watering deck boxes that I ordered 16 years ago and they are still in great shape. Love your products!

Technically, this is not a self-watering pot -- it's just a large pot with a reservoir at the bottom. There's no fill tube, wicking mechanism, or overflow hole that I expect in a self-watering pot. It's marginally better than a coir line basket that requires watering multiple times a day...but just marginally.

As others have also noted, the hanger won't stand up to the load if you have a large plant and filled reservoir. I replaced the plastic hanger with a homemade hanger -- eyebolts, jack chain, and "S" hooks -- which added about $5 to the cost.

The result is an okay hanging pot that was definitely not worth the total cost (pot + shipping + hanging hardware). I'm still looking for an actual self-watering solution for my large hanging plants.

Bought one basket last year to see if it worked in hot Colorado summers, only needed to water geraniums twice a week. Loved the large size, allowed for more soil for plant to grow into over the summer season. Bought 5 more for this summer, so far so good! Look great for older Victorian home.
